Ok, maybe I'll go watch a pathetically bad John Travolta movie to get my team name too. I know, Team Disco Ball! Or better yet, Team Polyester Fever.
Come on man! You're being juvenile. Oops, did I say juvenile? There I go again stealing team names.

As little as 10 cents a day and you can buy my family out of slavery... Hurry before its too late!

What this means is that if I don’t get it replaced in time, the winner of the Custom Carved 45 Grips will get them mailed directly to them personally and not Awarded at the Event. I DID get one pair carved for the Adventure Games Big Game (who was first in line, event timeline) for this weekend. They are in the stain/urethane process as we speak.

So YES the grips WILL still be a Prize to give, but it may have to be given after the fact (like the 2 AO Signature Images that are Prizes as well).

Thank you for your understanding… I hope I can get the grips down in time, but just in case, I wanted to keep everyone updated… and assure you all that they are STILL Prizes.

Oh.. the latest quick shot of the Adventure Games Prize Grips..... similar ones are ALMOST done being carved (except as you read, my Dremil died... grrrr) for your NJ Event.... The ones for the NJ Event are even more carved than these are, with sleeker lines and more defined. Also you can not fully see the sleekness of the grips. They look almost bulky in this shot, BUT they are not. They are very similar to the ones I posted in the Cphilip Spyder Project Thread.

You can not see it perfectly in this picture but the wood grain is stunning (Thanks Tunaman… yours are going to be STUNNING) and with the two light coats of stain and then 3 layers of urethane they almost glow. The color ranges from a golden brown to almost black grain of the wood. I may even add one more layer of urethane if they dry quickly enough (they are being delivered tomorrow afternoon/evening).

Sorry the pictures don’t give the full beauty of these grips, but it does give you a rough idea….

Yup.. I got a new Dremel. LOL (And this time spelled it correctly too!)

The Prize pair are done being carved. They are being stained at this very moment! They are better than every pair this far shown. The more I make, the faster I get and the better (and more identical) they are. The lines are smoother, the feel more refined, and the looks are super sexy.

Originally posted by oldsoldier How many pairs you bringing? I am looking into customs for my emag...want to check out the work you do.

I am not brining any, but "sending". I can't make it personally, so my participation will be donating Prizes.... 2 AO Signature Images and 1 set of Custom Grips.

You can see the Prize Pair at the Event. I also want to make a pair very similar to them for E-Mags, but quite a bit thinner due to the constraints put on grips by having such a thick frame. They can also be finished in almost any manner I (or the customer) wants, from very light, to almost black (or even black if need be.... I believe Tunaman is going to take a pair I send him and finish them black and put about 30 layers of urethane on them).

I will eventually make a mold out of a nice pair and cast them in plastic (to make them more affordable and easier to mass produce) and have even toyed with the idea of them in Pewter (and already have requests for them that way). But one thing at a time.... I am VERY busy as it is.

A similar pair will also be given away at AGPaintball this Sunday (as was said earlier), and ANOTHER pair on the 28th. So, you can determine if you want to come on up for a shot at the pair on the 28th as well.

I am REALLY wanting to tackle the E-Mag grips though, they will be interesting to say the least.

I hope that answered your question. I don't want to hijack this thread with NON-NJ Event stuff, so if you (or anyone else) have further questions about the grips, feel free to PM or E-Mail me.

Anybody got a rental???

hey all,
It seems that i have run into a rut. The gun that I ordered and was expecting to arrive this week (so i could use it this weekend) was placed on backorder and will not show up for at least another week. MAJOR PAIN IN THE A$$. so it looks like im gonna be needing a rental. Anybody have an extra gun that they would be willing to rent out. I can pay if nescessary. PM if you could do this.

At this point, to my great dismay, there are no rentals whatsoever. Furthermore, the amount of guns people are willing to loan out is similarly small.

I figure that we can probably outfit 4 or 5 extra people from what I have an idea is coming so far. I am still trying to look into getting 10 or more sets of Tippmans with equipment, but I have no word on that so far so at this point its kinda hard to tell.

Due to the fact I have no confirmations for the most part on borrowable equipment, it's going to be a first come first served basis. A few people who PMd me a while ago I may be able to set up them up, but I'll PM them individually.

So, my only advice is if I don't post about getting my hands on those tippmans, show up anyway. We'll try our best to get you outfitted, but at the very least you can hang out and have a good time.
